The Buccaneers orchestrated a significant Day 3 trade Saturday, moving into the fifth round to select cornerback Zyon McCollum out of Sam Houston State at 157th overall.
McCollum was widely considered a late-Day 2/early Day 3 value by many prominent analysts, such as The Athletic’s Dane Brugler and NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein, so this is a steal at face value. While he cut his teeth as a small school prospect, McCollum made waves by absolutely crushing his athletic testing at the Scouting Combine.

By several metrics, McCollum is one of the most dynamic physical specimens to ever play cornerback at the pro level.
